A Man who Wants Natural Gas.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
like the tone of the letter published ia yes
terdays Journal. If we are to depend on our
coal monopoly, with Mr. Fletcher at the head of
the organization. it will be very cold day when
we will have the pleasure of enjoying ourselves
by natural gas fire. From what have learned
about gas in the last few months, my experience
teaches that if all of the gas wells (outside OF

A New Tax Law.

The committee on taxation ap
pointed by Gov. Hamilton on the
recommendation of the Farmers
Association which met in Baltimore
last winter, will frame a bill which
will be placed before the legislature
next winter for their action. 1t is
proposed to make q radical change in
the assessment and taxation of prop
erty in the state, a system that will
relieve the agricultural interests of
the state from the present unjust and
unequal taxation imposed upon them.
A member of the committee states
that law is now in course of prepare
ton which provides not only for the
taxation of mortgages. but of all
kinds Of property, and plan by
which the only improvements on ag.
ricultural lands that are to be taxed
will be the improvements that add to
the agricultural value of land. The
law also proposes system of annual
listing. by which every person in the
state shall annually list or report
himself and property for taxation
Taxing the improvements which
add to the agricultural value of land''
would be bleeding the patient at the
heart. Why not encourage the in.
dustrious man to add to the fertility
of his land rather than discouraged
